Shingles
No, I don't have shingles. I got my 2nd shot of the shingles vaccine and like the first time, the side effects were horrible (fever, chills, muscle aches, mind fogginess) but that is nothing compared to shingles, I think.
Did this watercolor in the backyard while I was in between naps. Tried my best to over paint as Monica Fogg suggested to go into my zone of uncomfortableness. I wanted to stop before the purple, blue, and dark green. The image posted on the right looks close to what I painted. I went back to the photo editing software in the light of morning and tweaked the color levels to match as close as possible what I saw with my eyes on the paper. Still not quite right. The pale background is more yellow-green than green. What the iphone camera saw is the less green (smaller) version on the right (unless you are using a phone and then it's somewhere else).
What my Canon G7X saw was different as well. The colors were closer but more washed out than the real and not as overall greenish as the original on paper. Maybe photos make my paintings look better most of the time because they change the colors and saturations?

Next, might try it in acrylic as a 10 minute painting.
I'm glad you painted anyway. The experience with the shingles vaccine sounds awful, but after watching my hubby go through shingles it was a good move on your part!
